Chapter 430: + - 430+
Davian and Lake finally got to the beach hours after breakfast, the Alpha held a large picnic basket in hand and his mate’s hand in the other as they leisurely made their way across the white sand.
He had slathered them both down in sunscreen, Lake wearing a hat and sunglasses and a light outer robe. It was late in the morning but the sun was already pretty warm, the frothing white waves lapping at their feet.
"I want to take my shoes off," Lake announced, the Omega was walking ahead, and if Davian wasn’t holding onto his hand, he would have run off the moment they got to the beach.
"It’s too dangerous," Davian dissuaded, glancing down at the sharp glinting sand with disapproval.
Lake was hardly listening, abruptly dropping down to pick up something that caught his eye. "It’s a seashell," He announced his find, holding it up to Davian.
After walking for a decent distance, Davian decided that they had gotten to the perfect spot. He reluctantly let go of Lake to lay out the blankets and put down umbrellas, a wry smile on his face when his mate immediately wandered off.
He could still see Lake out of the corners of his eyes and the Omega was still wearing his flip-flops so there was no immediate cause for concern as Davian got things ready for their day at the beach.
Lake pattered back when he was rounding up, his arms filled with sun-bleached seashells of various sizes and colors. Davian was supposed to be focusing on the haul but he couldn’t seem to see past Lake’s rounded stomach.
"Don’t you want to take a break? You’ve been picking up seashells this entire time." He tried to coerce the Omega to sit down after safely keeping his seashells. If Lake kept his foraging up, they might need an extra car just to take back all the shells.
